Due to their small body size, limited gut volume, and rapid rate of food passage (Garber, 1986) callitrichids require a diet high in nutritional quality and available energy. If urine or faeces have to be sampled for 24 hours, animals have to be single housed in a metabolism cage for this period. For longer surgery, a combination of Saffan (18 mg/kg) and Valium ® (0.25 mg/animal) is reliable in common marmosets, and Ketamine (25 mg/kg) + Midazolam (25 mg/kg) for cotton-top tamarins. Cytomegalovirus (CMV), which occurs very often as a latent infection in Old World Primates (OWP), seems not to be relevant in marmosets, and has been isolated from the salivary gland of tamarins without clinical symptoms (Nigida et al., 1979) . ./cache/cord-021457-wymtn8q9.txt ./txt/cord-021457-wymtn8q9.txt
